Do Ouija Boards Really Work? Spoiler Alert: They Don’t.

Do Ouija Boards Really Work? Spoiler Alert: They Don’t.

ouija boardAs children, we’ve probably all tried a Ouija board at one time or another. Remember how it went? Two or more players would gather around the board, and each would place two fingers on the planchette (the pointer). Each person would then ask the board a question one at a time, and, if there was a connection to the spirit world, the planchette would begin to move across the board, spelling out the answer. Sometimes, the board will answer with a simple “yes” or “no”, sometimes it will spell it out.

Generally, using a Ouija board is harmless. However, there are times when the connection to the spirit world can go very wrong. Sometimes, the connection will be to an evil spirit, a demon, or devil. In order to avoid such an evil link, one must follow the five rules of the Ouija board…

Ouija Board Rule #1
Never play with the Ouija board alone. This is for your safety both physically and mentally. Ouija board experiences are occasionally extreme and should this occur you will need someone with which to support you, both during and after the occurrence.

Ouija Board Rule #2
Do not allow the planchette to count down through the numbers or backwards through the alphabet. Doing could result in the spirit escaping from the board, allowing it to terrorize you and the other players indefinitely.

Ouija Board Rule #3
Always place a silver object upon the Ouija board before playing. Silver is known (ahem) for its power to repel evil energies.

Ouija Board Rule #4
Never, ever mention ‘God’, as it is believed that entities contacted through the Ouija board are generally ‘evil’ in nature. Some may appear “good” at first, but it is likely a demon who is playing tricks.

Ouija Board Rule #5
When you are done playing, say ‘goodbye’. Failure to close the Ouija board session by saying ‘goodbye’ may result in the contacted entity remaining present long after you have finished playing.

Pretty scary stuff. So what’s really going on?

The movement of the pointer on the Ouija board can be attributed to something called the ideomotor effect. Humans might not be aware of it, but suggestions can be made to the mind by others, by observations, or by other mediums – and these suggestions can influence the mind and affect motor behavior.

According to The Skeptic Dictionary, tests devised by American psychologist William James, French chemist Michel Chevreul, English scientist Michael Faraday, and American psychologist Ray Hyman have demonstrated that many phenomena attributed to spiritual or paranormal forces, or to mysterious “energies,” are actually due to ideomotor action. Furthermore, these tests demonstrate that “honest, intelligent people can unconsciously engage in muscular activity that is consistent with their expectations” (Hyman 1999). They also show that suggestions that can guide behavior can be given by subtle clues (Hyman 1977).

So, when people go to play the Ouija board, they know in advance of what it’s supposed to do, they (often) expect it to give some sort of results, and unconsciously, they guide the pointer so that it gives “answers”. There are no demons. There are no spirits. It’s just a piece of plastic/cardboard. Nothing more.

After all “If there really is an afterlife, I’ll bet the best way to contact it is through a plastic, mass-produced board game from Milton Bradley! –Mad Magazine

    When I was a child , My friends and I played with the Ouiji board. I was afraid at first. Anyways this was when I was 10 I am now almost 30 . But I still remember this coincidence or not. We said if you are real then call us. Literally as we finished saying this the Phone Rang I laughed and said wow that was scary ..I answered it because they were afraid , no one was there . We were the only ones home at the time. and this is before everyone had cell phones. We contined to play asked if that was him calling he said yes, then the lights flickered like there was a short in the electrical system or somehting. We were a little freaked out. So we through the board across the room into her closet and shut the door. Two days later my child hood friend was dead , suicide.

      Quija Boards do work, but what some peopel dont understand is the Quija board was created way before the Hasbro Version. To use a quija board to its full affect, you must make your own.

      Shocked. No offense but is this a real occurence because alot of people on the internet love to lie on this topic.If thats it so i will be sure to never touch a Ouija i have heard that using candells silver etc. Will make what your contact uncapable of evil and maybe even contact a family who has passed instead rather than a demon of some kind.

    my friend and I were playing with a ouija bored today, the pointer was moving all across the bored very fastly. spelling out random words we could not understand. we were also playing with my friends step mom. every time she touched the pointer. the pointer went nuts. scattering all across the bored. once we finally said goodbye. my friends step mom hands were ICE cold. and our hands were beat warm.
    it was like the spirit was using her to contact.

    Just like to say this; have you ever played those of you reading? If you try to push the planchette consciously , it will trip up and it is obvious it was pushed. If you play, don't go in thinking "This is all rubbish!" because it most likely won't be someone pushing ;) Happy Ouija games! Stay safe.

        NO! Don’t try it. They do work. Please don’t try it. Google Demonic Symbols – look at the board and planchette. When I was a child around 9yrs old we did this at a sleepover at my house, we also had a seance (sp?)and retrieved a spirit. Scared me sooo bad!! I never did it again. Never will. Maybe it is because a childs mind still is open to these things. Don’t know. Definitely not going to try it again and see.

    Ouija board is no joke, anyone who says its fake doesn’t know jack, I am 23 I started playing at 14 with my best friend then more and more then even alone at times, I will never in my life touch one of those things again, evil is real and it’s scary, at that time in my life I was against god, and for the devil, and if you allow it a demon WILL attatch itself to you and it will NOT leave until it is done screwing with you. I get chills to this day just thinking about the things I went through. It’s unexplainable, most people think I was crazy. But I know it was real. So please be careful to anyone who’s thinking of playing. If you are a believer you just might have something bad coming your way. Hopefully not. You don’t want it.

    I’ve tired playing the Ouija board by myself and I do see spirits I’m currently living with my bf and his mom and I know the house wasn’t haunted when I moved in and since I tried playing. By myself I’ve felt a presence around me today I seen a guy in the corner of my eye and I know this is the guy I’ve been feeling around me but oddly the Ouija board didn’t move for me but I said goodbye but it was days later and I still feel him and seeing him but I have played it with my sisters and friends it always worked. But this time playing it alone wasn’t smart since I’ve played alone Ive been having bad dreams about going to hell and bad thoughts of killing myself I myself I warn whoever want to try some scary fun to always say goodbye and if they don’t want to say goodbye say it for them because the territory I’ve been dealing with is scary and Iregret ever playing

      If you truly think a ouija board is fake, I suppose I have to warn you. Please trust me. This story is real. Some friends and I messed around with a ouija board. We thought it was funny. The way it moved. We didn’t bother with the silver. We didn’t need it, we thought. We thought we were talking to a boy. He said he was 13. Very sweet boy. Very wise. We asked him what his favorite number was, and he said 98. The night went on, and for about an hour we talked to him. We asked him to show us something amazing. 9. 8. It went. It stopped for about a minute. No movement, no reaction. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. Nothing happened. The lights didn’t flicker. No phone rang. Nothing. We got bored, and packed it up. Now I should say this.. We didn’t say good bye. To this day, I hear them before I sleep. I smell them. Burnt flesh. I talk to those who burned in Auschwitz. The worst part is.. I can’t step foot in a church, or touch a crucifix. I can’t touch a bible, and I can’t be in the same room as holy water. This is what I get for playing with a ouija board. You were warned.

    Observe this simple experiment. Put two pieces of cardboard, or smooth poker chips on top of the cup. If spirits are moving the cup, the cup will move first then the chips will be dragged behind. If it’s people moving the cup, the chips will move first then the cup will follow.
    I betting spirits aren’t being called by a toy made in China by Milton Bradley.

    But us being bored we decided to it on the roof us my bestfriend house. The pointer shaked a little bit but that was all so we blew out the candles forgetting to say bye. we then left at my friends and me my sister and my friend shelby went home and we remebered we didnt say thats when thing got bad all through the night wierd things kept happening and we blew off like we were just parinoided or something. So we woke up the next morning and my mom said i know you did a ouija board and we were like how did you know and she said because last night around 4am i was going to sleep and all of a sudden i saw like a person with a green shirt and a baseball hat on!! we then told we were having wierd thing happening to us too. and she said just dont think about it or it will get worse so we went back upstairs after breackfast and i was the last one and i went to shut the door behind us half way up the stairs i heard the door open and me and my friend shelby looked back and it was open and so i called thinking it was my brother and my mom screamed he is with me and i am so scared

      Go back to the Ouija board and open it. Start as normal, and then once you contact a spirit, say ‘Please go away. Please leave us alone.’ If that doesn’t work, be firm but not demanding. Stay calm and don’t yell. Say ‘Go away. Leave us alone. Goodbye.’ If the Planchette goes to goodbye, you should be okay. I’m not speaking from personal experience, just what makes sense, but I hope this helps!

    I played a Ouija Board with my friend a few months ago. We were aiming to talk to another friend of ours who had recently died, but we couldn’t seem to get him. We prayed everytime before we tried to contact a spirit, and said ‘goodbye’ calmly after we decided to give up. I was a little bit freaked out for the next few days but nothing weird happened and I usuallyy pick up on strange energy changes (as in ghosts) in the room. It works, just be careful and pay attention to all of the rules. Never do anything to aggravate a spirit. Happy playing!

    @Syra – I thought I did, but how can I know if it was paranormal or just my mind playing tricks on me? This is why I always doubt paranormal things… there always seems to be a much more simple explanation (for example: an illusion, something natural, my mind playing tricks on me, etc).

    So I guess the answer is “no”, based on that.

      The best way to see if ouji boards work is to record yourself playing the game and then play it back if your unsure of the result… It helps if you think your results are based on your own mind (mind playing tricks on you) hope that helps

    Hi everyone! A couple of my friends and myself had just used the Ouija board and I can’t even lie, I’m kinda scared, lol! I googled the rules to the Ouija board and I came across this website, so I read every post and I don’t know wether to believe everything or to laugh! We didn’t have a pointer, all we had was the actual board. So we put the board on my living room floor, with the front door closed, and the light’s out… And nothing happened. My friend Tyler asked the Ouija board if there was any ghost’s in my apartment and nothing happened, he then started saying ‘come out you f@gg0ts’ and was talking smack but still nothing had happened. So I decided to put the board back and stop using it, so I said goodbye, my friend Jacob said goodbye but Tyler did not. Nothing has happened yet, Hopefully nothing will later as well. Guess we’ll see! :)

    Ok for all those people that are saying ” how can paper and plastic call spirits” the fact that the ouija can contact the spirit world is irreverent to what the board is made of. A spell is still a spell no matter how its written down. The Internet is a virtual world that can harm people, cyber bulling or humiliation… And a computer is nothing more than wire or plastic. We can use the Internet to buy or get real physical good, but you can’t go or visit the Internet physically it takes a special device with the proper combinations of wires And plastic and antennas. The ouija is the ” computer” to the spirit world. Just like there are people that can use a computer properly there are people that can’t use a ouija board properly, one may say computers are stupid it won’t do what I want it to do ( no the user is stupid bc he/ she can’t use it) same goes for the ouija

        Danielle…. The fact that you want to get one all depends on what you are looking for. If you are just looking for something to do bc you are bored then I would not recommend using something you are not familiar with, the results could be regrettable. Let me as you and everyone on this post, does anyone on this post believe in a higher power…..like God…does anyone believe in the power of prayer, that someone like Jesus can die on the cross and rise again. If you answered yes… Then why in the world would evil stand on the sidelines and be fake. There is a Satanic church, there are spells and prayers for evil too.

        My brother and his friends played with an Ouija board and they have no fear and never had harm so i think its pretty cool and I’m probably going to try it sometimes… I don’t know I’ll ask his friend i pretty good friends with her so I’m kinda exited. If you have a different opinion I’m fine with that. But the only person to dare to talk to is my mom Sarah

      Um,I’ve been watching this therad for some time now,and I can no longer restrain myself. Mr. Price, you’re concerned whether these Democrats will be loyal to the GOP? You’re joking, right? You sound as if you’d be just fine with a school board packed with conservative Republicans, which in my humble opinion would be no better than those Dems that sit on the board now.I frankly hope these and future candidates for this body will declare their primary loyalty to the idea that the Pennsauken Board of Education exist to oversee a school district that will help to prepare its students to compete in a 21st century global economy, party politics be damned!!

    ive been playing with the brainjar ouija board for a while now and when i first done so i thought it was all gunna be a load of fun and games, nothing real will happen – until last week. I asked the ouija board will a certain horse win its race this week, it said ‘no’ and guess what, the horse came 4th, when i asked it will something particular happen at work this week it pointed to ‘yes’ and guess what that particular issue did occur at work, then i asked it if it would rain on saturday wher ei live it said ‘yes’ – no prizes for guessing whose more accurate than the weather-man. then the table started shaking, i thought it might have been something more logical (it was after all a very windy day), i clicked on ‘goodbye’ and i heard noises coming from the walls (house noises? i dont know) but they ceased a few seconds after i clicked goodbye…fake?? i dont fucking think so….scary as hell?? yes but very accurate.

    whats with all the d!ck measuring just cause someone cant spell a word correctly! ever thought that people might actually know how to spell but miss out letters due to fast typing! this site is suppose to be a debate about whether or not ouija boards work! not name calling like school kids please!! and for the record i tried the ouija board my self and nothing happened! you believe what you want to believe and see what you want to see this game is a trick of the mind! if you truly believe something will happen then it will, minds have a great way of playing tricks on us, so when we get scared it may sometimes feel like something is really happening although 9 times out of ten it will be a trick of the mind…. and everyone else stop rippin on people who cant spell and if you wanna be keyboard warriors theres plenty of chatrooms on the net that welcomes your B.S …. peace

    We used a wooden Ouija Board the real ones won’t burn and when you try to burn them, black goats will appear, sign of the devil… Just don’t get an entity named “SETH”…he’ll be all nice to you at first & flirts with you even and then he’ll start swearing when you go to leave him…and NEVER draw an open door on the back of a Ouija Board, it’s lets the spirits out…

    Axiome; something which is as itself being, proves itself simply by being … ( self-evident) … when I 1st used a Quija board, “Axiome” was what “it” called itself, but I had never heard the word before then, just only looked it up afterward… and it spoke in paradox.

    I am 24, and played with the board about 6-8 years ago. But I don’t think that contributed towards my experiences. I truly believe from experience that there is something more to this life and because we are physically existing, its a limitation to an extent. I remember being fully awake about a few months ago, and I was researching how to interact with spirits, and got bored so I turned off the computer and light to my bedroom. I was still wide awake and kept the door open enough to allow the hallway light come in. It was around 3am and remember “I was wide awake” — nothing drew my attention towards the door, but I’d stare at it before falling asleep every night. I actually witnessed a body like shadow travel past my room. The light of course wasn’t entirely blocked by this shadow. For the next 20 minutes I was attempting to yell, degrade, or whatever to get this spirit to do it again. I saw what I saw… It was not out of the corner of my eye… No one else was around… a couple weeks prior I was accused of unlocking someone’s bedroom door and going through the room towards the bathroom…. FYI — the direction to that persons bedroom from mine was the same direction that I saw a shadow heading towards… Both mine and their experience happened in the middle of the night.

      I actually played one this weekend. and first me and some friends asked if we could have a hint of the spirit. it literally started moving. spelling the word “Far”. we were confused. so I asked who are u?? It started spelling the name Kevin. I bursted out in tear because I was terrified. The name kevin only related to me. July 16 2012 I met a guy in N.C. and fell in love I think about him all the time and he is FAR away. I was trippinggg. Then a friend got the nerves to ask what did he want? With my eyes closed I felt the glass moving.. as my friends stay brave and hold my hand I open up my eyes to find the spirit spelling out my wholeeee name. Not the nickname that everyone knows me as. I realized this wasn’t fake. they werent trying to scare me. they asked who the hell Allison Williams was. and I was like thats me dude. I paniced. A friend tried getting it off my mind so she asked when we were going to die as a joke.. it went to the # 3 and right when it landed I went into shock, harsh vomitting and choking. The front of me was cold and my back side was hot. I ended up passing out and breaking the Circle. now I’m scared..

    Hi room.

    So i haven’t used a Ouija since I was in 5th grade. I dont’ t know if I believed my friends way back then. So I purchased a used Ouija from the 1940’s made by Fuldman which was before Parker Brothers bought the rights from Fuldman after he passed. It arrived in the mail on Saturday. I opened it but have not used it yet. It’s been sitting on my bar in the kitchen. Saturday night my dog stared at the Ouija board, growled, gave a small bark and panted heavily. She stared for about 4 minutes. She has never acted that way before. It gave me goose pimples. Tonight my Husband and I are going to try it for the first time. I will report back.

    almost 95% of ouija boards dont work because they have been blessed, when you bless a ouija board it is next to impossible to get any kind of paranormal activity from them …. if you look on amazon or even ebay for a cursed ouija board there the ones you need if you want a true paranormal experience … aim for the boards that date back to the 1930′s to the 1970′s .. i hope that info was helpful to anyone seeking a spooky evening =D

    I played only once in a dark room with candles. The roombecame cold, some candles, blew out, i opened my eyes the board kept going to no then spelling stop. Over and over again. A misty figure of a beautiful woman in a red dress was there. She spoke ( and not threw the board) she said Zama, Zama, Zama. The next day daughter three at the time was cutting out articles of natural geographic. She brought to me a picture of a dead lamb/or calf the head cut off saying mommy look Zama! Zama! I searched the magazine an article abot gypsy s and there way of life. The next day i talked to my father different state, i told him. He said i had a dream of a woman she was so beautiful, she said her name was Zama but i couldnt reach her, she was too far away and no matter how far i ran she kept gwtting farther. I have not open the spirit world since.

    I believe in ouija boards as much as I believe in vampires (http://www.relativelyinteresting.com/do-vampires-really-exist-9-truths-to-consider/) which means to say I don’t believe they do anything for real. It’s just a product of your imagination because you are setting yourselves up to be scared – so when anything happens (that would otherwise not be spooky), you immediately attribute it to the ouija board.

    I have played with ouija boards all my life. I honestly do not follow the rules, I do not say goodbye, and so on. Nothing bad has happened and no “devil” has followed me. The only thing that has happened once was that I was with friends and we were playing with the ouija board. We asked, “can you show us a sign that your here?” A single light turned off then turned back on a couple seconds later. I am sure no spirit is capable of hurting you. Think about it, you don’t here about any bloody/gory or even slightly creepy deaths that don’t have an explanation. Trust me, nothing is going to hurt or haunt you. Ouija boards are a fun experience, and you can get some real quality info off of it. My friends and I use it for more girly reasons(crushes)

Very amazing and freaky at.same time.

A true story here now no bs but wen i was 15 me n a mate decided it would be a gud idea to try the ouija board and it worked how do i know?i asked questions only i knew he answer to my friend had no idea of my mothers maiden name or what address my grandad lived at or how old my parents/grandparents were! Every single personal question i asked this home made board came back spot on which kinda freaked me out! We had no goodbye on our board (individual letters wrote on paper in a circle with 0-9 yes and no) we came across a “spirit ” that didnt seem too happy us playin so we left it alone n i left the glass turned upside dwn in my bedroom n ditched all the letters etc! A week later i decided to touch the glass,alone and the fuckin thing slid along my table a gud 6 inch not fast but really slowly!i ditched the glass on a back alley bt yeah thats my story!nothin bad has happened n iv tried a few times since now im 27 nothing has happened since then! Keepin an open mind id like to think of life after death!

    I believe in the oujia board! My cousins,me, and my siblings were playing the ouija board and asking simple questions like is anyone there and stuff like that. Well once we were done playing and we all said goodbye nothing really happened and we all thought it was fake and why we even wasted our time playing it well about two weeks later when I went back to my cousins house we were all alone while her mom went to the store to do some food shopping. Well we heard creaks like some one was walking around the house and a few times the lights would flicker in the kitchen me and her were dead scared and we wouldn’t even move. After that and her mom came home we went into her room and she told me that she hears voices in her room and the bathroom and I didn’t believe her and I’m very skeptical so it was hard to convince me that ghosts exist but I started hearing voices in her house and only her house and something strange really happened her baby brother was sitting in the couch and I looked away for a second and looked back and he was in the other side of the house…. Strange right… That’s not all I also saw a shadow many times I was by her room and the bathroom also the storage room. If I were u I would try to play it u will. Regret it trust me

    i had a Ouija Board for 2 years always tried it alone. never worked. But for 2 years i had crazy f…ked up depressing dreams, thankfully i am mentally super strong as it wasn’t good. not 1 good dream in 2 years till i eventually sold it. i was never scared and thought what a load of crap, and nor am i paranoid, but those dreams were weirdly bad, Don’t wait 2 years folks get rid of asap. Pray to god read the bible ask for forgivness and all will be gone. God is good god is mighty than all and nothing can stand before god, we are all his children and god will sort it if you ask.

    Hi all,
    I am an atheist and I am well educated. I don’t believe in nor God neither Ghosts. So to give a try with Ouija Board I made one by myself today morning.

    I called up my friends to my home and started to use that board. At first it didn’t move at all but after some time with our finger on the planchette the pointer moved. It was showing no when we asked if someone there. Then it started telling about it. It said its MOXO who is 101 B.C died in a war in Spain. It also said its from Spain and waiting for its Girlfriend Artothusar. We have never came across such names in our lives. Also we same across ZOZO-famous demon once, then a spriits like Lowco, OM, HPM etc.,

    In this, Lowco was very interesting. It said that it can fortell the future and also predicted some events in our lives. We are waiting to see it happen. But when my brother didn’t believe in us and tried alone nothing worked for him. He tried for a long time but it didn’t move.

    I still feel like my mind is playing games with me. When I guess consiously some word it is not showing the same word but starts to rotate in the board. So saying that it works unconsiously with motor musles. But we are getting good stories with this board. Thanks to that board for this.

    Afternoon,

    First of all, eveyone involved in arguing over spelling and punctuation should take their comments elsewhere. A grammar debate is not the intention of the thread. I’m always correcting my girlfriend’s grammar, but does that make her a moron? No. She’s currently enrolled in Engineering at University, so she is far from. Every one has their strengths and weaknesses.

    Anyways, to the point… The title of this article is ridiculous. Its like saying, “Does God exist? No.” How can anyone know? The author of the article clearly has never experienced a Ouija board, or gotten the results they were looking for. Although I’m sure that many of the above stories are fake or exaggerated, I’m also willing to bet that the other half are honest. Until you have a personal experience with it, it’ll obviously be hard to relate. But that doesn’t mean that you can entirely dismiss the idea. My older sister died six years ago from cardiac arrest. A couple days after, my mother and auntie were sitting alone in my kitchen, simply having a conversation. Out of nowhere, my sister’s necklace, which was sitting on a shelf, lifted up and started to float. It remained in the air for about five seconds and then dropped to the floor. There was no ‘wind’ or anything of the sort. It didn’t happen to me as previously mentioned, but I know that it happened. She wouldn’t lie to me about something like that. It takes an experience like that for one to truly change your outlook on the supernatural world. Since then, I absolutely believe it. I’ve only used a Ouija board a couple times, and that was over two years ago. We made our own board, had a closed off room, candles, followed all of the rules, etc. We did reach a couple spirits, neither of them were harmful or aggressive. As said, it was a couple of years ago so I don’t remember all of the details. Not sure why I haven’t done it since, it isn’t as though i’m scared or anything, haha, just haven’t gotten around to it again.

    If you are willing to do it, make sure you’re serious about it. From my personal experiences, you don’t get a response if you’re laughing about it or not taking it seriously. Make sure you have people you can trust, too. I’m not sure because I have never had any issues, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to be careful and say ‘goodbye’ and what not. The debate about having to be religious for it to work is also irrelevant. The group I did it with held a couple strong christians, an atheist, and I am agnostic, but it still worked. Science explains the reason for Ouija boards to work as the ‘ideomotor effect’. To sum it up, it says that humans involuntarily make movements or thoughts. For example, crying is an uncontrolled action triggered by intense emotions. Most people dismiss Ouija boards and their authenticity based off of this theory. But what they haven’t considered is the spirit crossing over and initiating those so-called involuntary actions so that they can interact. Hmm, just a thought.

    Well, that’s it for me, folks. Don’t eliminate the possibility that they work based off of what you hear on the internet-try it for yourself. Don’t consider it a joke and always be safe about it. Kudos to you if you read this whole comment, my apologies. I’m graduated from high school now and currently working and I miss writing, so I sought this as an opportunity to fuel that crave. Have a good one.

    I happen to believe that Ouija boards do work. I was a skeptic until last night. My best friend decided to purchase a Ouija board and me, him and another one of our close friends went to a haunted forest nearby to check it out. Keep in mind that this forest is extremely active with spirits, as it is the site of many tragic murders, suicides and deaths (often from getting lost because of the size). In the middle of this forest, there is a parking lot. This parking lot is said to be a hotspot because of the lights (lights allegedly attract ghosts). So we parked there, set up the Ouija board in my car and lit some candles. We tried for about 10 minutes and nothing happened, which led me to believe that it was bogus. Then, at 9, the lights in the parking lot shut off (as they always do) and that’s when we got results. We spoke with a very disturbed ghost who was upset over his murder. He wasn’t a fan of technology and even told my friend to stop texting. Periodically he would spell out “leave” or “leave now”. When we asked why, the planchette wouldn’t move. We would ask him another question and he would answer. We were in the middle of the conversation when all of a sudden the planchette pointed to good bye. We thought he was just bored of us. But about a minute later a car pulls into the parking lot. Unsure of who it was, we tried to sneak a peak. We locked all the doors when we couldn’t identify the driver. We all ducked down and remained still. The car shone it’s lights at us, revved it’s engine but then it eventually parked about 5 or 6 meters away from us. We kept still. Then an extremely large truck appeared out of the trails in the woods. These trails are meant for walking, but sometimes the locals will rip through them in their vehicles. But they don’t normally do it in the winter unless they have business in the woods (by business I mean mischief). So, the truck does the exact same thing as the car did. Convinced that no one was in my car, the driver of the truck parks beside the car. We had no idea what they were doing. But they didn’t seem friendly. It’s almost as though the ghost was trying to warn us.

    I’ve played the ouiji board a few times in the past. It has worked for me. Just answered questions and they were right. Even predicted who I’d lose my virginity too thought nothing of it till I thought back later. Have never had any paranormal experiences away from the board. No whispers no shadows and nothing flying off walls or creepy noises. I kind of want to play by myself just to see what happens. And if I do I’m definitely putting some silver on the board just as a cautionary.

    It WORKS! Me amd my dad bought one today and we tryed it out (i tryed makeing one on my own but it wasnt accurate.. :/ anyways so today was Basicly like my first time… But my dad has tryed it alot when he was young but it always gave him bad luck and he burned the quija board) anyways…… It worked… And it was alittle girl..age 6 and she said she died in my room :O … And that the toys we found iny attick were hers… And she was murdered by a 40 year old man.. I got teary eyed of course…
    BUT my MOM and DAD tryed it and it was a spirit named “Z” and dad asked him where he was in the room and Z said “above” and i immidiatley screamed and dropped to the floor cuz it was above me and scared me lol .. Then my dad said give me a sign ..like show us that ur here and Z said “look up” and we did and we told him we couldnt see him and later he said “man behind you” and dad asked who the man was and Z said “Jim” and dad asked to talk to him and so jim got on the quija board and jim said to run and dad said from who..

    Ok, soI think the game is a big lie. I believe it works, but not with all the “dieing, injuries, illusions,etc.”. I feel that some of the people on here need to re-check their spelling, and use more meaningful words. I am also compelled to say some of the people on here are complete mororns!

    I have tried this only once. It was just after my friend past away. At first it didn’t work. And after an hour or so of trying it finally did. Instead of calling upon any spirit we called apon my friend and asked her to contact us. We played by all the rules making sure we were one step ahead of the board. We asked it simple questions that only our friend were able to answer, just to make sure it was her and she did, she answered each question right. Then things went a bit weird and wat she was saying made no sense. Eventually all it ended up doing was moving across the board to my friend (our late friends best friend) and literally went off the board and kept moving on the table towards her. This happened over and over as if she were trying to tell us sonething. Eventually she went to goodbye and had to end it there (never try to speak to the spirit once it has said goodbye, that’s wen things can go weird). After all this we realised that the triangle thing you place ur fingers on was upside down and we wernt using it correctly.

    After that my friend started hearing voices and she was feeling very down towards herself as if she wanted to hurt herself. I don’t no if that is true. But ofcourse we supported her through it and decided not to touch it again until we were ready. I found it really interesting and it also gave me and my friends alot of closure towards our friends death knowing that she was still out there and was okay. Aslong as u obey the rules and make sure u use it properly. Then everything should be fine. X goodluck

    Im 15 and me and my cousins always look for scary stuff online. When i was 13 i had gone over a friends house and used the board for the first time there. It was fun and scary and couldnt believe it actually worked. Well last summer i had made my own ouiji board since my parents would never buy one for me. It really works! And we dont push it i swear because sometimes when i play with them the spirit goes so fast i have to catch up alot. Imade mine from cardboard and wrote everything in a black sharpie. Because we’re afraid of glass breaking we use a see through plastic thingy. It really works i swear. Its fun but be safe! Always ask a spirit if it is good or bad in the beginning, and if its bad say goodbye right away. Always say goodbye when you are done. Plus never play by yourself. Its scary but fun after a while :) if u wanna talk about it kik me @katieisme07

      Not to be rude .. But in actual facts its safer to play it alone… Im calling bs on your comment for the fact that a evil spirit would never tell you it was bad … Demonic spirits will lie to you, only thing to remember when playing ouija board is never let the spirit count 666 and never let it count back from 10 to 0 and always remember to say goodbye …. Peace

        how do you know that ,yes they would play tricks on you, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a honest mean demon, if he lied you would feel at ease ,if he were honest you would be scared off the bat, rather than moments down the line, it makes sense that the demon would say yes I am mean because it would make you fear it from the moment you spoke with it ,and isn’t that their objective

Im 17years old and this board is not a joke, all those storys you guys are telling I bet are true but it more then likely happend to you cause you either did something wrong they the spirits did not like, didnt say goodbye er disrespected the board, NEVER EVER disrespect the ouijia board and ALWAYS say goodbye, Me and my friends all ways played the board we never treated it like a joke, it is real we was talking to this one spirit who was pree chill we all liked eachother and just laughed even the spirit was laughing but one day when we were playing everything went wrong that spirt that we was talking too sent the ouijia board demon to us his names ZoZo never ever fucking say that name when you are playing the board.. that demon is one of the devils followers and he is attracted to me I can feel him by me and its crazyy and every time I play the board I call apon a spirit and the only spirit I get is ZoZo I have asked him why he is by me why he is always on the board when I play and he said he is attracked to me and he wants me to follow him .. I swear too all of you this is not a joke this shit is real and I do have proof .. so whoever plays this please play it right and never let them do the figure 8 thats where the spirt draws a 8joke on the board really fast when they do that say goodbye cause their trying to open a portal thats what the y did t oo me and my friends ..

    I would never attempt to play the ouiji board! My sister done it twice with our friends…. The first time was in a grave yard, the next day our friend Amy woke up with all scratches covering her back..she said it didn’t hurt her but was just really scared to how they got there.. the second time she was with diffrent people and they wanted to do it, my sister didn’t want to but they was calling her a sap, so she did it again and everything in the room was spinning around. She was scared. Every time I mention the ouiji board to her she makes me promise not to try it! I believe every word she has told me.

    And for those to not believe it. Try and find out..

    My friends and I tried the Ouija board today, and it didn’t do anything. Though, things did keep dropping on the ground and lights kept flashing. We heard noises. My friend and I both had heard a voice whispering in our ears saying, “Please don’t leave me,” and we don’t remember the name it had told us, but we remember it had started with a J.

      please go back on the board, ask if spirits are present ,they probably escaped if you can hear them ,if spirits are present tell them to go away in a firm voice, but don’t yell say go away, leave you alone, and tell them you wish them well ,say goodbye

    I became interested in ouja boards and found this site. My Mum tried one when she was a teenager and has told me to never try it and stay away from ouja boards.

    When my Mum used it she had her mates around. When they tried, they did it at night and when it started moving they all got scared and threw it over the next door neighbours fence, the board, the glass, everything.

    Once they returned inside they shut the door and although my Mum was fine, she said a spirit followed one of her friends home and they had to get their house blessed and cleansed by a priest.

    OMG I just remembered!! When I was 10 I played one with my best friend. It didn’t work and we saw this video where a girl started spazzing out, so we started laughing at it so we made a video of it. And since it wasnt working we didn’t bother on saying bye. And a week later we did it again and we thought we were just kidding, but we were talking to her dead grandpa. (Died of cancer) and we thought it was each other doing it so we just laughed. At about 3 in the morning we both woke up and went to a picture of her grandpa talking To us and we talked back. It was so scary. We woke up that morning and did the ouija board again and we realized it was actually her grandpa. She started crying. And her grandpa called her a crying bi*** we said goodbye. But he still followed her around. She was kind of happy she got to talk to him though. Do not EVER not say goodbye after using one of these!!!

      I find your behavior appalling. I guess if someone saw you “spazzing out” you would like for them to laugh at you and make a video of it?! I hope you realize the error of your ways and do some reflection and searching internally before trying a Ouija board… sounds like it might be more helpful to your growth. Best wishes.

    When my mother and my uncle played it when they were in their 20′s the person contacting them through the Ouija board kept pissing them off about my mother’s brother that just passed away. My uncle told it to go to hell and the spirit replied with “c u there”. That’s the last they ever touched a Ouija board. My mother won’t allow them in the house, and I don’t blame her.

    anybody who thinks a Ouija board is “fake” and “is done via the idometer effect” is a complete muppet who doesnt know what the fark they are talking about. Ouija Boards are VERY Real. in fact ive recorded an EVP during a ouija session, I picked up a spirit, a boy of 11 who died in 1985 who kept on saying “help…help me”…these things are very real It gave me the name of 5 people who i allegedly was in my past live – my user name is the first and last name of one person who i was and my middle name is of the other. Unless you know what you are doing and can prepare to take action when something bad comes up then i strongly discourage anybody from using the ouija board. Idometer effect – HAH!

    Soooo me and 2 of my roommates decide to make a Ouija board after talking about doing so and trying it out for a few days now. Anyways we get down to doing it one night set up the board lit the candle and turn ne d off all lights and tv. We sat down making sure outs knees all touching each others. We asked a few questions then asked how long it had been living here. It pointed first to 3 corners of the board not 4 what does this mean? Then proceeded to perfectly align up to the 1 and stopped a few seconds and quickly started counting up it went to 6 before I moved to goodbye. After I waited a good 10 minutes set it up and tried again. Asked it something again but don’t remember what I asked it did the counting up thing again and I did the same thing again, went to goodbye. I then waited another 10min I set up and asked again how long it has ben living here. Took about 30 seconds and then went to 1 then a then s then somewhere near 4 but couldn’t figure out what before it went to goodbye. What would this mean? This Victorian house I did it in was made in 1910 if that helps any

      I have used the Ouija and had very positive responses. I do not believe in ghosts or anything like that. I also do not believe in ghosts using a board or haunting homes. I do believe in energy. I also believe in multi dimensional beings after using the board. It is important to identify what or whom you are speaking with and show respect and gratitude. the answers may not always make sense to you and when it does not make sense ASK questions! do not get afraid and end the conversation. Simply ask for clarity. Be open, love without limits and have no fear. Best wishes.

    Years ago, my friends and I gathered around the Ouija board and began to play. We agreed that NOBODY was to intentionally move it around, but just relax our fingertips on it. After about 10 minutes of nothing happening, we changed the way we asked our questions. Our first response was: fkae. The second: blsiulht. After rearranging the letters, we were able to decipher the messages VERY clearly… fake, bullshit. Amazing what a bunch of non-believers can do with Ouija board. True story… as true and “accurate” as any you just read. ;)

        The Changing Light at Sandover is a 560-page epic poem by James Merrill (1926–1995).

        Already established in the 1970s among the finest poets of his generation, Merrill made a surprising detour when he began incorporating occult messages into his work. With his partner David Jackson, Merrill spent more than 20 years transcribing supernatural communications during séances using a ouija board.

        Merrill published his first ouija board narrative cycle in 1976, with a poem for each of the letters A through Z, calling it The Book of Ephraim. It appeared in the collection Divine Comedies (Atheneum), which won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1977.

        When we get higher educations, we discover methods of research that can make a difference in our theories or ideas. How about sharing information that is worth spreading. So much false information is spread to manipulate society and keep you in your naive bubble. Let’s pop the bubble, and help put an end to spreading more false information about the Ouija without doing any research. I think it is unfortunate that this is continuing. But we can stop this. I suggest reading The Changing Light at Sandover by James Merrill. Or The Book of Ephraim, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1977. I have hope for you future leaders! The revolution begins with you! It starts within yourselves. Best wishes.

    I was at a public library last year with my sister and found a Yale review magazine. They send it to alumni. well this was donated to the library and inside was an article about a college graduate from the 1970s who used the Ouija board with a colleague and wrote poetry based on their findings. later he tried to burn the board and their notes, but somehow Yale saved it and they are now on display in their campus library. My sister and I decided to create our own Ouija board based on the one pictured in the article and experiment. What we found was very interesting. The Ouija worked and was very positive. I will only divulge a small portion of the messages received. if interested further, please email me or do your own research. I will quote the board…
    “Time is not infinite, you are.”
    “Have no fear.” (we asked how do we do that?) “Love without limits.” (How do we love without limits?) “No fear.”
    “You are LW.” (what does LW stand for?)
    “Light work.”
    “You are why we are here LW follow the signs.”
    Do you’re own experimenting. I didn’t have to rearrange letters. sometimes it took a while to get it going. And Just like with anything in life, patience is key. Good Luck.

    I am seeing a collection of some of the most naive individuals I’ve ever seen on the internet. How can any of you, with any semblance of intellect, defend one of the most asinine urban myths in human history? I have news for all of you; there is no afterlife. None. I apologize if that depresses some of you, but the more you grow accustomed to the truth, the easier it will be to handle. I’m supposed to establish my faith in a toy produced by Milton Bradley based upon the supposed testimonies of adolescents and young twenty-somethings who struggle to use the words “you” and “for” without resorting to sophomoric internet colloquialisms?

    Well truth be told my old house keeper had a real experiance in contact with a oiuja board and she never touched one again she told me. But this is all honest and truth when I say this. My four old friends tried out my old ouija board in my room years ago and let me tell you we really put our minds together and really focused when we did it. We had candles around us and that night the four of us
    Felt somthing that is hard to explain the whole room had went dead silent the air shouldve kicked on by then but it didnt and we stopped after we felt this weird feeling. Years later the board must have gotten thrown away or somthing because it was not under my bed anymore where I use to keep it. My point to this story is that everyone may have different experiances and the only way to see results is to stay focused and believe.

    2. 9 out every ten “real life ouija board stories” are rife with spelling mistakes.

    Ouija boards are real, and demons can be contacted through them. But why would you want to do this? You see, I am a Christian, and I have seen many cases of where people have been traumatized after contacting a “loved one’s spirit.” They were not able to sleep at night, and they went through many nights of counseling and prayer before they cast the demon out. I am not meaning to evangelize to anyone, Christianity is not forced. All I am saying is, demons can be contacted through Ouija boards, and it is anything but fun. Try it if you want, but I and many others can guarantee you will regret it. Have a good day.

    My friends and I used one last night. We contacted a man who died three years ago of diabetes. He gave us his last name, and he told us his daughter went to our school. He also gave us her name. During the seance I asked him to show me the first letter of my mother’s middle name, which he did produce rather quickly. We ended the session all feeling light-hearted. We proceeded to looked for his daughter in the year book of the year she supposedly graduated as we had her age, name, graduation year, and his name. No such girl existed. Seems like the ideometer effect to me. As when we saw it my friends immediately came up with excuses to rationalize this discrepancy. I reckon they made it move subconscious out of sheer hope of making contact. I too probably contributed, as I wanted him to know my mother’s middle initial.

    Merrill published his first ouija board narrative cycle in 1976, with a poem for each of the letters A through Z, calling it The Book of Ephraim. It appeared in the collection Divine Comedies (Atheneum), which won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1977.

    Well, I believe in it because it happened with me …..
    I was playing it with my cousins and suddenly the lights went off and a cold chill started blowing……that coldness prevailed even when we closed the windows…. and I heard strange sounds from the lobby of my house….. Since that night I haven’t even touched it and if my friends invite me to play…. i refuse

    It works if you believe in it! If you play not believing it’s real then it won’t. I”ve played for years now to talk to my son who passed away in an accident. I didn’t think it was real before I started playing then played with people who had done it before and I believed in it so I tried it with them and contacted my son. I know it was him because he told us stuff only I would know. And he explained how the accident happend. Nothing bad has happened to me but I only talk to him and nobody else. If you are going to play make sure to follow the rules and always say goodbye! It’s quite the experience if you play with the right people.

    I am now 44 yrs. old. When I was 19 my best friend and I played with the ouija one night. I borrowed the board game from a another friend of mine. As we were leaving in my car after getting the board game a big black spider came down right in front of my face and almost caused me to have a wreck. We got to my best friends house and lit some candles in her living room turned off all the lights and at this time it was about 1:30 in the morning. After playing the ouija for about 10 min. my friends home phone started to ring. No cell phones then. My friend answered the phone, no one would speak and then it would hang up. Everytime we started to play the phone would ring and do the same thing. This lasted until a little after 2:00 in the morning, then the power went out. This is all that happened at her house. I took the board game home with me and never played it alone. My Mom saw the board game and told me that I had to get it out of her house. I laughed at her and told her that it was just a board game. My Mom pitched a fit until I had it out. I ended up putting it in the trunk of my V.W. which back then the trunk was in the front of the car. My Mom had a bad experience with one being in her home when I was a baby. She said that she kept having visions of me reaching onto the stove and pulling hot water on to me. She had the vision went running to the kitchen and I was standing there about to pull the pot down onto me. She caught it before it happened. After this she said that she thought the whole thing was bad news that it could lead to bad things even if people did perceive it as a game. I was driving to work one day and I slid and hit a telephone pole ran through a fence and hit a mail box and landed in the people’s yard. I hurt my back which I still have problems with today. It took two grown men to open the trunk on the car and there lays the ouija board nothing out of place everything else in the trunk had been crushed or scattered all over the place. This is when I decided to throw it away.

    There is absolutely nothing scary about a plastic, mass-produced game from Hasbro that has a cool backstory and a big Internet following.
    So come and join mee!!! *cough* have fun!

    It’s like I said before on my last post. It is not so much to do with playing a game. It is what you are doing that “represents” a black magic, a sort of evil if you will. Since Satan walks the earth during this time, I have no doubt that people may experience something weird or a bit scary. I stay away from messing with games or seances or anything to try and speak with the dead. If we were supposed to speak with them, it would happen and not through a board game. The board game itself is not real, it is the people whom are creating a boundry that they want the dead to cross. (Not a good thing) That would be working black magic and is a sin. I think bad things happen to you from what you have tried to open a realm that God has closed to us and for a reason. The board game does nothing. It just represents what we want to happen.

    The ouija board is real you all must be very careful the best thing you should do is to remember to say goodbye and be respectful and good because if you don’t you will either get possessed or get killed and trust me the way you get killed is very weird and supernatural and when you become possessed then YOU BECOME A DEMON OR A DEVIL. stay safe

    The reason why it is real is because one time i played the board game then after the game i started to hear footsteps and creaks and I was full on scared so then i got out of my bed i didn’t switch on the light because i knew it wouldn’t fix anything so i just standed there and i just sat down on the stairs and i felt very different then the confusing thing is that i felt very comfortable so then i just went to sleep and for some reason it really and truely felt like that me and the demon are one. trust me if it happened to you then you would feel the same thing. if those who don’t believe then try it to believe it.

    if everyone wants to know why you wake up in 3:00am is because 3:00am is the time when Jesus died and the time when the demons and devils are out if you want to become a demon the safer way is to be Neutral Evil those are the good demons

    Satan is Lucifer and trust me if you want to become the demon or follower to Satan trust me you are leading yourself to suicide and it is no good to commit suicide because you will go straight to Hell and the things the things the demons would do to you is just say gnashing your teeth out skinning you, burning you eating you and rebuilding you and most importantly you will suffer there forever but just so you know if you are a person that believes something or doesn’t believe in anything then don’t become any demon only the ones that are seeking to become a demon can seek it.
